This movie was horrible!!! I love the arts, especially dance and this movie was a let down!! It did not live up to the name of the original "Fame". If I was Debbie Allen I would be embarrassed! I was so let down by the music also. I just knew that I would love the music. Absolutely not!!! Santogold's song was good but that was about it. The acting was o.k., not there fault at all. Story writing is where the let down is!!! The characters just came across as superficial! Completely let down!!!
